حراسة القلب المسيحي (أمثال 4: 23)

  حراسة القلب المسيحي       " فَوْقَ كُلِّ تَحَفُّظٍ احْفَظْ قَلْبَكَ، لأَنَّ مِنْهُ مَخَارِجَ الْحَيَاةِ " ( أمثال 4: 23).     ثمة حادثة لا أستطيع نسيانها؛ كانت والدة أحد معارفي تدير متجراً حين دخل لصٌ أسود البشرة، وسرق مالاً ثم لاذ بالفرار . طاردته المرأة، لكنها أُصيبت بطلق ناري أودى بحياتها . لقد كان المبلغ الذي سرقه اللص لا يتعدى 100 دولار؛ إنها مأساة عبثية بكل المقاييس . بالطبع، لا أعتقد أنها طاردت اللص لمجرد حماية تلك المئة دولار، بل كان الأمر على الأرجح رد فعل غريزياً وفورياً . ومع ذلك، فُقدت حياة ثمينة من هذا العالم بسبب مبلغ زهيد كهذا .   يبدو أن الكثيرين يكرسون كل قوتهم وقلبهم وتفانيهم لحماية أموالهم . ففي عالم مهووس بالمادية، يبذل الناس جهوداً مضنية - ويلجأون إلى شتى الوسائل - للحفاظ على ثرواتهم . والأكثر إثارة للقلق هو حقيقة أنهم، في خضم سعيهم لحماية المال، يتخلون عن قلوبهم . وبينما نعيش في عالم قد يت...

‘A minister of Christ Jesus’ (Romans 15:14-22)

‘A minister of Christ Jesus’       [Romans 15:14-22]   Today, as we celebrated the first Sunday after the 30th anniversary service of Victory Presbyterian Church, I threw this question in front of the Lord.   What is the message that God is giving to our victory community?   Two things came to mind when I asked this question: (1) As I shared with you last week, it is to ‘be thankful’.   During the 30th anniversary revival meeting, God repeated the same message through the two guest speakers.   The message is that we are blessed as those who have already received the spiritual blessings of heaven in Jesus Christ.   And as blessed people, the responsibility we should do is to give thanks to God.   (2) The message that God gives to our Victory community is our church's vision, 'Raise leaders!'   We must devote ourselves to raising leaders with a Christ-centered vision.   The moment the Lord made this vision more and mor...

Those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1-11)

Those who are in Christ Jesus           [Romans 8:1-11]     There may be hymns or gospel songs that you like.   And you probably have a reason why you like that hymn or gospel song.   Personally, when I see brothers and sisters in Christ whom I love around me suffering from hard work, I often exhort them by quoting the lyrics of the 2nd verse of the gospel song “We Will Keep Our Faith Alive”: “We will live as God has planned though at times we may not understand.   Many things we may not see, but our faith will help us believe.   From His word we learn the truth; through His love we all are born a new. ….”   I don't know how much comfort and strength these lyrics are.   Although it is difficult to fathom what the Lord intends, there are many times when I am personally strengthened and comforted by the fact that I am always in the Lord's will.   In the midst of this, I began to ponder a little in...
